It's mostly focused on broadcasting not playing youtube.  I remember getting it to work at least once but its a bit fragile because it has to parse all the dash manifests etc which keep changing.
I'd recommend caching it by downloading it with youtube-dl first then playing it.
This will probably improve as the industry finally adopts all the streaming stuff.

Hi,

I want to ask if sound/video playback of an youtube URL can be done with mod_vlc. Looking in freeswitch mod_vlc.c I can see "vlc_file_supported_formats[argc++] = "youtube";".

I have tried <action application="playback" data="vlc://https://youtu.be/VoeCcCQuJrM"/> without success:

"

Couldn't find any documentation/examples about youtube playback using mod_vlc. Can someone help me with some examples, please?

Thank you,
Stefan
